I present to you the official bloganimal and mascot of /dev/yarnstash: Yaku. Yaku's alter ego is Yakuza le Poussin, a great fashionguru from overseas. Yakuza especially loves warm and soft yarn, eating and sleeping. Yakuza moved into the apartment autumn 2004, when he was approximately 1-3 years of age. Yaku is a homeless cat, found unneutered in forest late October. He moved to us only days before he was to be put down. He was bullheaded, unpredictable and little bit dangerous in the beginning, but nowdays he is mostly a big wuss.
